In light of the fact that Playboy Magazine is no longer going to feature nudes or have a centerfold (Their website is quickly following suit) by March of 2016, let's get a thread going to remember the good times the bunny rabbit gave u/s/.

That's fucking unamerican.
>>16234002
Blame the decline of the print industry, the rise of the Internet and the fact that licensing the Playboy Logo makes more money than the magazine and the website combined.
>>16234003
Falling asleep at my lap-top, so I'm going to call it for now. feel free to contribute anything playboy-related while I'm out (Covers, Centerfolds, full pictorials etc. etc.) /s/
>>16233955
The magazine has been in decline of both relevance and subscribers for a decade or more. I wish them good luck but I bet within a few years the magazine is shuttered and the shareholders are left to squabble over an ever declining royalty base.
I didn't believe this until I saw the NY Times article about it.
Hef must be senile. This is really a stupid move.

>>16233955
>Playboy Magazine is no longer going to feature nudes
Why? Did the feminists tell them to stop because it's sexist and objectifies women?
>>16234267
Actually, it's a money grab to the 18-30 demographic and countries that legally can't sell Playboy in it's current guise (China, basically).
>Playboy executives admit that it has been overtaken by the changes it pioneered. “That battle has been fought and won,” said Scott Flanders, the company’s chief executive. “You’re now one click away from every sex act imaginable for free. And so it’s just passé at this juncture.”
>"The difference between us and Vice,” Mr. Flanders said, “is that we’re going after the guy with a job.”
>>16234303
This is great and ll but the guy with job might still like naked chicks.
This is not great
Why is it that to me the women from the 80's back were much more beautiful and, I dunno, 'classy' looking? Also the ones with the bigger breasts, their breasts looked so good?
>>16234319
I think girls today are just as attractive if not more so.
Yeah, here goes the mankind last place too see quality naked women without retarded porn for degenerates. Excellent job murrica.
>>16234303
Also web traffic quadrupled after they took out the naked pictures.
>>16234351
It quadrupled because it flashed in news. I.e. when heffner will take a dirtnap it will quadruple too for few days.
>>16234354
It quadrupled because without the nude pics, Playboy can be accessed and allowed on social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
>>16234354
That was more than a year ago actually so if we believe their claims it wasn't just a short term bump.
No, what really happened is they ran out of money to buy a naked photosession from a decent whore and decided to roll instagram the magazine before finally closing. But it's looks 100% disgusting, it's like conservatives won and placed everyone 70 years back.
>>16234365
And what's there to access without nudity?
Their photography is obsolete shit, you can build instagram feed in a week which will be better than what they intend to do and be completely free too.
>>16234376
They can't compete with instagram's blitzkrieg attack.
>>16234376
They do have a literary and journalistic reputation to fallback on without naked women.
>>16234396
As have hundreds of other established print outlets which used to sell millions but now on life support, trying to fight off adblock in death convulsions.
>>16234396
>literary and journalistic reputation
people don't read articles these days. it's tl;dr
they should reduce their articles to one liners
>>16234397
And even porn in print is no longer a sustainable model of revenue.
>>16234400
Yes that's why they should just shut it down, and just make archive available for subscription.
Now the entire archive is in danger because they may deface or delete it in any seconds.
>>16233955
What's the fucking point of even looking at it if there's no nudity?
>>16234310
It's bullshit

They dropped the ball decades ago with all their airbrushing and shooping. At the last they changed but it was too little too late.
>>16234396
Their articles really were excellent. But I don't think I'd ever have read them if I hadn't been a horny teenager sneaking them into my bedroom to fap.
i don't know why so many people are upset. playboy hasn't been relevant for years. there are much better places to get pictures of naked women. nobody buys magazines anymore.
>>16234640
>there are much better places to get pictures of naked women
Like which ones exactly anon? All that exists besides playboy is shitty degenerate porn and sites with underfed ukranian whores. And most of the latter can't even make any videos.
>>16234646
you think femjoy, metart, mplstudios are all underfed ukranian whores?
>>16234650
Yes femjoy, metart and mpl are literally like this - 70% ukrainian, 20% russian, 5% czech and 5% everything else. Also metart began as pedophiliac site in disguise, they used to fake the age of their models to evade persecution. There is horrible air of prostitution and trafficking about metart and other east european sites which make me not want to support them at all, unlike playboy which has some of their former models working as corporate executives.
And anyway, they were using playboy template, feeding of playboy popularity and will degrade into garage instagram tier without real competition.
>>16234659
>playboy never used prostitutes or underage models
cool story bro
>>16234080
They want to remain relevant by being able to post on social media as they can't compete with Internet porn. If the models are no longer nude they can put their pics up on twitter, facebook, etc. It's a sad attempt in trying to keep up with the very culture they helped create. They really just need to release some Tranny nudes. That'll stir the pot.
>>16234695
Metart is blocked in countries where their models come from. Some of their photographers got prison sentences in russia.
>>16234659
Def not a fan of the whole pedo thing. That said, you cant really claim that Playboy is above prostitution. How many of the girls in that mag got there because they slept with Hefner? Sorry to break it to you, that is a form of prostitution. Frankly, any time you are paid for sex you are prostituting yourself.
>>16233955
>rest in peace in peace
>>16233955
> rest in peace in peace
>>16234766
Playboy models don't usually end up in porn and have chance for normal life, while like at least 20% of metart girls shoot in porn and appear on escort sites all the time. Metart is really like a branch of eastern european prostitution ring.
>>16234725
Nope. I live in CZ...works here. Frequently travel to RU, HU, UA, PL for business. Never had an issue accessing MetArt from anywhere when I had a subscription.
I do remember a while back there was a Russian photographer and his wife that were both sent to prison for child pornography charges, but I don't think it had anything to do with MetArt. They were falsifying identification documents and posted a pic set of some 16 year old (that was also posted in here quite reqularly years back) got them busted.
>>16234796
>Nope. I live in CZ...works here.
You can't subscribe for metart in russia at least, perhaps in ukraine too. Existing subscriptions should work perhaps.
>I do remember a while back there was a Russian photographer and his wife that were both sent to prison for child pornography charges, but I don't think it had anything to do with MetArt.
No it has, that photographer claims metart founder set police on him when his own site became somewhat noticeable.
>>16234808
I haven't had a MA sub in about 5 years now so maybe something has changed.
I find it amusing that all these FSU countries are so uptight about things like this. Age of consent for most of these places is 15-16. The industry is cutthroat no doubt - I don't doubt for a second that someone got pissed and rolled on the guy for underaged models.

>>16234901
Maybe playboy should have evolved with the rest of a society that now has hot porn on its phones. Like their whores that they featured playboy banked on its looks but is now a saggy tit crone who didn't invest her money wisely. Now she'll gum you for a fiver.
>>16234965
I love bethanie
When first I found Playboy i was linked to the website by a news story of a high school cheerleading coach who was fired for posing in her birthday suit. There were so many naked women. I was fourteen. This, is that cheerleading coach
>>16234899
This. One hung out with me for a while and she was hot but dumb. Gave me a fake name until one day I noticed her Facebook she used had a picture from the day she got playmate of the month. Bitch freaked the hell out, started crying, and deactivated her phone.
Too bad, too. We got along really well.

Ahahahahhahahahhaha
So Playboy is wanting to become Maxim/Stuff?
This is a shitty move. They could have just gone straight artistic with their pictorials, but removing them entirely? Very dumb.
Also, to whomever was saying shit about them wanting to be able to be sold in other countries: that's simple, you have (which they already do) branch versions of the publication that adhere to local standards.
I'm surprised they've lasted this long. I guess people got tired of them having too many plastic-titted airbrushed centerfolds that barely even looked like people they were so shooped.
If they still made shit like this >>16234096 I would probably subscribe myself.
I wonder how long they can go on by being a more well-known Maxim.
>>16234910
We should be thinking outside the box. What if this gets Playboy out into the magazine racks at Walmart? Then everyone wanted to buy the PG-13 Playboy. Then they provide highly artistic images that are a huge cut above Maxim, just look at the photos here from a technical level they blow away the Maxim stuff. Then Playboy explodes in popularity saving the magazine. They now can get legit actresses to pose almost nude rather then the trash they have to put in there now.
Fast forward a little later, they could become more explicit, show some occasional topless or see through become like NUTS in the UK. Then when they come back to full nudes it will be news making again.
Its like hitting the reset button on a comic book. Like when DC rebooted all their comics and fixed the continuity. Now we are on Playboy Clean issue one.
Maybe they will improve the magazine and the self imposed limitations will make better art?
Trying to remain positive.
>>16235686
Meh I hope it fails. Playboy is weak shit.
>>16235689
>weak shit
Assuming by that you mean it's not hardcore, sometimes it's nice to see a photo of hot girl naked without her having her pussy gaped open wide enough to conduct a cargo ship through or something like that. I really like their older photos.
>>16235697
This. I like the playboy shoots I have better than the Penthouse or few Hustler Taboo's I have
Caprice was in this Oct Penthouse though, that kinda topped everything
Internet porn can get overwhelming anyway. Doesn't anyone else like picking out a couple great photos and using them over and over? Porn nostalgia is way better than new content sometimes
>>16234319
>their breasts looked so good?
because they were real
>>16235686
>Like when DC rebooted all their comics and fixed the continuity
They didn't fix shit
have their ever been reports of sons finding their moms in old playboys?
>>16234796
Crazy. 20 - 30 years ago 16 was the legal age for nudes in the UK and Europe. 'Seventeen' Magazine wasn't kidding back then.
Hopefully they'll change the way they make up the chicks and do all the photo processing and photoshopping and shit. Playboy photos have looked like majorly airbrushed shiny fake shit since the mid 80s
If you want to destroy the empire you spent nearly a century creating, at least liquidate it and spend the money on a 50 foot gold replica of your genitals or done shit. Don't shoot it in the balls and watch it roll around in agony while it bleeds out!
>>16235931
Some*.
Candy was the best ^_^. Err breast
>>16234319
I'm sure the grills are just as good looking, but Playboy has been, for a few years, overly Photoshopping (airbrushing) their models. Many of the photo sets from the past 5 years have a gold look to them. The stuff from the 1980's was just produced better.
>>16233955
>Their website is quickly following suit
I fucking hope not. Their website has been my fap material for the past five years. The CyberGirls are definitely more racy than the Playmates. I love how the videos will be interviewing the girl and she'll say something like, "I saw my brother's stack of Playboys and I loved how beautiful and classy the women looked," and then show her butthole.
>>16236069
Hmm I think the past 10 years is more accurate
Early stuff through the 80s, there was a natural filter, you know? the insignificant skin blemishes that 100% of human beings have were invisible with a little makeup or couldn't be seen because the photography wasn't digital.
>>16236159
nobody does classy buttholes like playboy does classy buttholes
>>16233955
The playboy website has stopped having nudes for a while. Playboy plus though will still have nudes and "centerfolds." The downside is no more nudie mags. The upside is the cyber girls are showing more and more. They're just transferring to a internet mostly platform. Lots of mags have done this. Just the age we live in.
>>16235939
shit, i thought that was michelle pfeiffer for a sec
>>16235836
I must admit I don't read many comics, probably shouldn't have used that analogy then, my bad if true.
>>16234646
Actually the hottest women on the planet are probably cam girl whores now. MissAlice for example would probably be a 80s tier Playboy model back in the day.
>>16236541
Dammit, I didn't mean literally hottest women just in the porn context.
>>16235686
You saved me time typing out my thoughts.
Though I don't see them going back to nudes though.
This more by Playboy is PURE GENIUS.
The app store app will be HUGE too.
>>16236564
This **move** by Playboy is pure genius
>>16234210
She's better off subscribing to Hustler
>>16233997
I didn't know who that was, so I looked it up. Lilly Cole, posed in French Playboy. The shots are sexy, but generally clothed or posed to hide any nipple. I guess that tells up what American Playboy will be, soon.
Alana Wolfe - If I saw her in person I'm sure I would be astounded by her beauty. But look at this Playboy image, people's skin just doesn't look like that. This is crazy and it's why Playboy sucks now.

nigga what? anti-porn conservatives lost. any 12 year old with internet access can watch arbitrarily degenerate porn for free now.
they're doing this because no one under the age of 55 fucking cares about a magazine full of pictures of naked girls when the internet exists. their demographic is literally dying.
Early 1980's playmate Barbara Edwards.
>>16234006
No, the blame goes to constantly featuring platinum blondes with fake tits or women who don't look real at all.
Playboy was supposed to be "the girl next door likes to fuck as well" and now it is, "Ok, next girl in to the mold - spread'em - got the picture - next girl in to the mold.
Ones like this are much better.
>>16234019

>>16234041
And can you imagine a PMOY who looks like this NOW? I mean, I wouldn't mind if she trimmed her bush a bit, but Lisa actually looked like a girl you might have known and hung around with as opposed to someone who couldn't wait until she was 18 so she could start working at Hooters so she could afford to get tits and plastic surgery so she can pose for Playboy and become famous.
>>16235697
>I really like their older photos.
It's the pubic hair that makes them so sexy.
>>16235718
>Porn nostalgia is way better than new content sometimes
The women in the past had beautiful pubic hair. Now, women in porn either have no pubic hair or ugly pubic hair.
>>16237578
I don't have to see them shaved/waxed bald, but I don't have my supper with the lights off. I like to see what I'm eating.
Plus, I find a lot of hair not only tickles my nose, but chafes my dick.
never forget.
This is why you don't let chicks try to run a men's mag. Playboy's been heading down the drain ever since Hef let his daughter run the joint.
>>16234267
> Did the feminists tell them to stop because it's sexist and objectifies women?
UK Feminsts helped Create lads mags - here's how:
It's funny. In the UK feminists hate what are called lad mags. Maxim, GQ, FHM, Nuts, Zoo, Esquire etc. What most people don't know is that feminist brought them about. In the old days Playboy and it's clones were king. Some nude girls and some advertising in a magazine and fill up the truck with cash. It was simple and effective business model. However in the late 80s early 90s feminists started going in to large chain newsagents in the UK and just removing playboy etc from the shelves ( AKA brazen shoplifting ). The major newsagents relented and decided not to stock playboy etc anymore. However magazine publishers wanted to get in on that very profitable business model ( Babes and articles for men ) so they reinvented the genre with Bikini clad women and faux intellectual articles ( GQ, FHM, Esquire ). Remember this was the 90s no internet, porn sold in only a few newsagents. The idea took off and even Celebs were posing in their underwear. However the articles were sucky and frequently intellectually pretentious. As a reaction to this very soft porn and shitty articles came a magazine called "Loaded". It had no pretensions to being anything other than being funny, irreverent and having some tits. In 18 months after it's publish it was the best selling "mens magazine" and because of it's irreverent, don't give shit attitude it became known as a "Lads mag". As "Loaded" was eating up market share the other "mens magazines" panicked and became more like "Loaded". Thus it gave birth to the "lads mag" genre. It reached it's peak in the early 2000s with 2 Weekly lads mags ( soft porn, lads articles, jokes etc ) competing before internet porn became accessible to everyone and started to kill off the lads mag. ( Source: I lived through every sorry year of it.)
>>16237731
TL;DR
TL;DR - Playboy very profitable. 80s feminists say "NO - Bad". Newsagents stop selling playboy. People copy playboy cos it's profitable but with bikini girls instead of nude girls. Create lads mag. Now feminist look at lads mags and say "NO - Bad".
Also credit to playboy for getting women considered beautiful like Kate Moss ( INB4 overrated, anorexic etc )
Playboy used to matter. In the 90s it was often either playboy or the underwear sections of the womans clothes catalogue. You millennials do not know how lucky you were.
>>16234078
Would bury face
>>16237742
in the 80s-90s they had Swank , Hustler etc
>>16237742
>You millennials do not know how lucky you were.
since you can compare, I'd like to know which gets got you harder and gave you better orgasm, a) the present you watching internet porn, or b) the pre-internet you watching pre-internet porn, or c) the present you watching pre-internet porn?
>>16234087
She reminds me of a Gustav Klimt painting
>>16234659
Yep. There is a massive oversupply of teenage slavic girls on these sites.
There's a lot that METart does right. High pixel photos, Photographers that know how to take a photograph properly, a good number of sets per day, Doesn't over photoshop the girls. BUT MET art stands for Mostly Erotic Teens and they are obsessed by young girls. It's like they are not interested in anyone over 21. Shit some of the girls have braces. I just feel guilty looking at them. My general rule is that if I were in a bar and I had to ID a girl then she looks too young. Teen porn stars are just everywhere, there's like a glut.
To give credit to playboy they tried to get the celebs/actresses you saw on tele to pose naked. No other magazine had the cash or whatever it took to do that. That made playboy special. It also gave a certain mainstream acceptability to nudity.
< Pamela Anderson ( in the 90s she was one of the most desired women in the world and playboy got her nudes. Well played playboy )
>>16237761
What I prefer most is
>a) the present you watching internet porn
For me t comes down to choice. Pre-internet you had to take what you were given. Pictures were often over airbrushed and only partial nudity. Video was low definition. Girls were sometimes not that pretty. Scenes were perhaps not what you were into, often cringey, most video was girl boy. I usually prefer lesbian or solo girl or poss POV ( - porn guys have to learn that they are a prop and not the star ). Now I can perhaps find a girl I like and watch her stuff. Or find a good new site and watch all the good vids. Or find a new "Thing" and watch the good stuff. Or pick something I'm in the mood for. the modern era is a golden age for porn. Now it's become more acceptable more girls are getting into it which means you are more likely to find a pretty girl that's a good performer. And with production cost coming down there is much much more choice.
Generally I prefer video over photograph. It's difficult to get sentimental about the old A4 "dirty mag" that you had to stash when you can get a beauty shot in 4k.
I am older ( 40) and I no longer drink caffeine so the orgasms aren't as potent. However in the old days of porn, especially soft core partial nudity, it was often something you "got yourself hard to" ie you could flick through the pages and not get hard. The current internet porn, a video I like, gets me hard whether I want to or not. Watching old porn has a certain "Oh I have happy memories of that" but I would never swap it for what is available today. Realistically I can only see porn getting better in the future.
Finally I give you in evidence in favour of modern porn this pic from playboy plus. Pretty, High definition, Comes as a set of about 60 photos. Can trace Eugenia Diordiychuk ( brunette ) and find all her stuff. It's a definite improvement from three or four overly air brushed partial nudes in an A4 magazine
>>16237767
>implying playboy doesn't focus on 18-21 year-olds
pamela anderson became one of the most desired women in the world because she posed in playboy. she was nobody before playboy.
>>16237835
Don't get me wrong playboy had some great shots and got some great reactions from the girls. Sexy, playful, not trying too hard or looking dead in the eyes. They were genuinely beautiful regardless of nudity. But this was probably the best pic of 1969. Now it might not be the best pic of the day. And that's why millennials are lucky when it comes to porn.
>>16237846
I would say playboy has a larger range of ages than METart.
Pammy started in playboy but then got famous in Baywatch.
>>16237835
I thought I was the only one. Photos are okay but I have no chance of getting hard to them, I don't think met art is that much better honestly.
Its kinda nice now in a way because I can appreciate them for artistic beauty and not have that 'tool mode' horniness that makes me blind.
So I hope Playboy makes up for it by being really artistic and glorifies female bodies of all kinds.
>>16237863
Pam was literally a face in a crowd at a Canadian Football Game when a camera that was hooked up to a jumbotron caught a glimpse of her face, then stayed on her for about a minute. Somebody got a hold of her, offered a modelling contract and the rest was history.

>>16234901
No faggot, it's because the magazine is shit. There's more bullshit articles and ads than there is nudity, the nudity is only a couple pages and is very softcore. If I was an oldfag who wanted to read articles, I would buy a fucking newspaper.

But then they realized there were no tits on the site and left.
